This little beauty finishes a little over 40" square. The plan is for this to be a wall hanging.
Barb's quilt was made with 4" strips and 1 1/2" sashing. Add a couple of borders and it finishes at 93" square. What a difference the strip size makes!
Both quilts have a bit of my doodle quilting on them.
I often take pictures of the corner quilting at the top so that when I get to the border at the bottom a couple of days later, I can remember what I did. Saves having to roll the quilt back on the longarm to check. I've had to do that a time or two.
My Splendid Sampler blocks are coming along. I'm using whatever scraps I have hanging around my cutting table. The little dots on the quilt shop block is so old I don't even remember where it came from. I'm struggling a little to get caught up on the blocks from my last holiday. Oh well, I can only do what I can do!
Linking up with Finish it up Friday.
Beautiful Lonestar quilts and quilting! I love your Splendid Sampler blocks. It tickles me to hear you just use whatever scraps are laying around on your table. That's my MO, too!

ReplyDeleteBravo Ladies����
Oh to get mine finished.... I need a kick in the butt.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful job again Linda. I'm making my SS blocks with no rhyme or reason my theory is if they get done that's a bonus... I was on a roll but seem to have hit a rut in the road.

ReplyDeleteThe lone star is always beautiful. Well done!
ReplyDeleteIt is interesting to see the difference in use of strips for different sizes of the same quilt.
ReplyDeleteYour sampler blocks are coming along well.
